Six Sigma White Belt — —
Intro to Six Sigma and “Lean” Thinking
Six Sigma is a robust and powerful approach to creating significant improvement in
organizations. Created by Motorola in the mid 1980’s and popularized by GE, AlliedSignal
and others, Six Sigma has been credited with billions of dollars of certified annual savings.
This Workshop will provide a high level, non-statistical introduction to Six Sigma. You will
be able to compare and contrast Six Sigma with other process improvement approaches such
as Total Quality Management (TQM) and Zero-Defects quality, and identify a selected set of
tools and techniques which support the Six Sigma methodology.
“Lean” thinking is a different way of looking at how work gets done. Popularized by James Womack
and Daniel Jones, Lean Thinking focuses on identifying and eliminating “non-value added work.”
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
• Describe what differentiates Lean thinking from traditional process
improvement thinking;
• Experience a simulation that will provide an “in the muscle” experience of
Lean thinking; and
• Understand how a selected set of tools and techniques supports the Lean
thinking methodology.
Methods
This interactive session will highlight a combination of lecture, simulation, and small-group
work to accomplish its learning objectives. PowerPoint slides will illustrate key points
throughout the session. Additionally, you will leave the workshop with a copy of “The Six
Sigma Memory Jogger II” - a Six Sigma tool guide, and “The Lean Enterprise Memory Jogger”
– a Lean thinking tool guide.

Improve, and Control) framework will be introduced. You will leave the training with a copy of the
“Six Sigma Memory Jogger” – a user-friendly, powerful resource tool.
